I like to think of myself as a storyteller. Mostly I tell stories about knitting.

I recently finished my Annetrelac socks out of Schaefer Yarn Company Anne. This yarn is light fingering weight, so I had to use smaller needles than I normally do and wasn’t THAT crazy about how this yarn feels. So, all around, not my fave, but my SIL picked the yarn out so I was determined to conquer some socks. It helps that I learned recently that you can condition natural fibers and since I’m blaming the mohair for the unpleasant feel, they are gonna get some conditioning before I call them done.

Also, found this yarn not to be terribly forgiving with regard to stitch definition, so no matter how much I might like a pair of Annetrelac socks to wear myself, I doubt I’ll use this yarn again. On ravelry, other people have used Noro with success, so I may try that.
OR does anyone remember the tulip yarn?
dyed at White Bear Fibers class
What do we think? Could this be a match made in heaven?
Tulip yarn all wound up.
The pic below is 64 sts around and I don’t like it. Annetrelacs are 72sts around the cuff so that could be an improvement.

Time will tell!

    I also don’t like Schaefer’s Anne. I’ve only used it once, but it was too fuzzy and splitty for my taste.
